AgNPs were toxic to all cell types, MWCNTs were toxic only to macrophages.
Macrophages discovered cytotoxicity that was not captured by fibroblasts.
AuNPs and MSNPs were least toxic to all cell types.
Nanoparticle toxicity to fibroblasts was ranked similarly by WST-1 and NRU.
Conventional cytotoxicity assays can be applied in ENM testing with caution.
